Taken at Gold Harbour, South Georgia on our cruise to the Falklands Islands, South Georgia and Antarctica in 2019. I can't help but think how fortunate I was to visit this area before Covid-19 halted all travel.

Opening. I will post another shot when it is fully open. It is a very large flower - perfect for drying when it 'Dies'. :)
Done for Crazy Tuesday.
A little bit of wildlife. A king vulture or Sarcoramphus.

So, do we call a female King Parrot a Queen? I think we should. This beauty was lurking in the depths of my old computer which I managed to wake this morning from what has been a year long sleep. Had all sorts of dramas with it, but it seemed to wake up fine and I was able to salvage a thousand or so old images from it.
Taken near Apollo Bay in Victoria where they regularly visited the local houses and gardens. So wonderful to get close!

A mottled emigrant butterfly on the Jamaican spike flowers. The texture on it's wings is remarkable, and the direction of light here enhances it just right.
I'm by no means a mushroom specialist and also not the biggest fan in the world in terms of mushroom dishes but I think this might be a nice penny bun. The forest below Easdon Tor in Dartmoor National Park was full of all sorts of fungi, the shamrocks added a nice bit of additional interest to the woodland scene. I would however not dare to pick any as I have no idea about what is delicious and what is lethal....
Here a video of our walk up to Easdon Tor and through the woods:
Last summer, we visited Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark. I used this picture as the background for the Lego mini figures
